Beginning Monday (June 1), the City of Nanaimo begins Level 1 watering restrictions. Even-numbered addresses can water on even days of the month, while odd-numbered addresses can water on odd days. Car washing is permitted on regular watering days.
No outdoor watering is permitted between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
Parking lot or driveway washing with tap water is not permitted during the period of restrictions.
